    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Punched_card

    A punched card (also punch card [1] or punched-card [2]) is a piece of card stock that stores digital data using punched holes. Punched cards were once common in data processing and the control of automated machines .

  3. Automatic lathe - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Automatic_lathe

    The term "automatic", when it is used at all, still often refers implicitly to cam-operated machines. Thus a 2-axis CNC lathe is not referred to as an "automatic lathe" even if fully automated. Small- to medium-sized cam-operated automatic lathes are usually called screw machines or automatic screw machines.

  4. Punching machine - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Punching_Machine

    A punching machine is a machine tool for punching and embossing flat sheet-materials to produce form-features needed as mechanical element and/or to extend static stability of a sheet section. According to the file, Richard Walsh, the county of Grayson, and the State of Texas had invented and applied for US patent in 1894.

  5. Numerical control - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Numerical_control

    A CNC machine that operates on wood CNC machines typically use some kind of coolant, typically a water-miscible oil, to keep the tool and parts from getting hot. A CNC metal lathe with the door open. In machining, numerical control, also called computer numerical control (CNC), [1] is the automated control of tools by means of a computer. [2]

  7. Automatic tool changer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Automatic_Tool_Changer

    In machining, an automatic tool changer (ATC) is used in computerized numerical control (CNC) machine tools to improve the production and tool carrying capacity of the machine. ATCs change tools rapidly, reducing non-productive time. They are generally used to improve the capacity of the machines to work with a number of tools.

  8. Direct numerical control - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Direct_numerical_control

    Direct numerical control (DNC), also known as distributed numerical control (also DNC), is a common manufacturing term for networking CNC machine tools.On some CNC machine controllers, the available memory is too small to contain the machining program (for example machining complex surfaces), so in this case the program is stored in a separate computer and sent directly to the machine, one ...
